The long-awaited spending plan will be the federal Liberals' first under Prime Minister Mark Carney and comes as Ottawa's budget watchdog says he's worried about a lack of fiscal prudence.

He said the plan will offer a "generational investment" in Canada's future.

"We're excited to get back and look forward to seeing a lot of promises that this Liberal government has made, hopefully, come into action because they're not all terrible ideas, especially the ones that they certainly stole from the Conservative Party."
